4-1-09 Eclipse
I'm reading the book called Eclipse. It is the third book of Twilight. So far, Edward and Bella are looking foe a good collage to go to. Bella and Eward have both been accepted to Alaska University. Eward is think about turning Bella into a vampire. Bella can't wait, she really wants to be one,just like Eward. Bella is now grounded because in New Moon she took off with Alice(Edwards little sister) because Edward was going to kill himself because he thought that Bella was died. But now everything is back to normal, Edward and Bella are together and happy and she will be a vampire soon. I really can't wait to get in to the reason of the book, to find out where Bella and Edward go to collage, if Bella turns into a vampire,and if Bella and Jacob make up, and become friends. 3-31-09 Larger-Than-Life Lara
Laney is the main character in the book Larger-Than-Life Lara. Laney is not a mean person, but she is honest. She does not ride the bus home because of the kids. She also doesn't have a nice house or nice brothers. Laney has three older brothers. She lives with her dad. Her dad works at a hardware store. Her mom ''ran away'', Laney wants to find her some day. In her room she has a tennis shoe hanging up on her wall so she can remember how it feels to have someone cheering for her.Her room is also the attic which she has to share with her dad.All the rooms in her house are green. she has three things hanging up in her room, the shoe, something her dad made for her,and a poster of a theater where William Shakespeare made his plays. This is important because she wants to be in a play that is at school. Every night she has mac-and-cheese because her dad thinks that everyone is old enough to find their own food. She also does the grocery shopping too. She never sits on the floor because she starts to inch. And she is the fastest kid in her class. Laney also likes to play baseball until the boys kicked her and her friends out. 3/4/09 fake reading
Dear Mr. McGuire,
I think that if you fake reading you are missing out. There are a lot of great books out there and if you fake read whats the point of sitting their with a book for how ever long. I couldn't fake read, I would have to start reading after a while. Like last night I was sitting on my couch waiting for seven o'clock because thats when I start reading, well I started a little early because books open so many new and exciting doors. For the person that is fake reading you should start reading books that are for you, authors don't just sit around writing hoping that someone will read their books, they write to interest kids and adults. So if you are the one who fake reading, stop theirs no scene in it, unless you like not getting books, then we have a problem! Anyway I hope you take my advice. 2/5/09 Party Girl
Today I read out of the book Party Girl by Lynne Ewing. Somethings that I disagree with in my book are the way Kata is always blaming herself for everything, like the way she is blaming herself that her friend Ana died, I don't agree with that. Another thing that I don't agree with is how before Ana died her and Kata went out of the house without telling anyone,and went to a huge contest dressed ''bad''. I like how when Ana and Kata had recess they would sit on the playground and plan there weddings., with long white dresses and cute little kids picking up the train of the dress.The book so far is really good, I love how it uses really good words to describe a scene. 1/22/09 Awakening
In my book I would like to persuade J,D that she should go out and fight her mother for all the things that her mother has done. As of right now her and Daniel are in a old building,stuck there,and have no where to go until they get a chance to run away from Dr. Styron and J.D's mom. J.D has figured out what happens to her when Dr. Styron makes her fall asleep, he gives her this shot, that is supposed to help her. So now she has to find out real answers, find the real her and figure out who her real mother is. Thing is J.D is only 13 and she has to do all that by herself, with help from Daniel,of course. 1/21/09 Awakening
The book Awakening is about a girl J.D. She was in an explosion some how, and when she wake up the first time she was still on the pavement, later she was at a hospital. Soon the doctor came in and told J.D that she would have to go to some kind of center for kids that didn't have a home.There she meet Daniel, a guy that don't have a mom and dad. now in the chapter I just read, J.D has a mom, home, and clothes but is still clueless 1/21/09 Mr. McGuire said

1/6/09 ONE OPINION OF THE MAIN CHARTER Please check the spelling One opinion that my charter has towards herself is thinks she is crazy. The reason she thinks that she is crazy is she was in a bad explosion, and so now when she went to the hospital to get checked out. She lost some of her memories. Now that she is in a different place she has been having visions, and has been seeing stuff that don't happen too. Another reason is she don't no anything about herself. She does not know her name, who her mom and dad are, where she lives or anything. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
goals for 2009 1.) My goal for 09 is to read more. One way I can do this is as soon as I get home, after I do my homework, get out a book and read. The reason I want to do this is I always hear my mom complain how she wishes that me and my sister would to read more. My mom is all the time reading. My mane gaol is to read one book a day or two.
2.) Another gaol for 09 is to bring my grades up one letter grade and getting on the A honor roll. my mom and I were talking and she said if I get A honor roll she will take me any where I want to go,over summer break.I know one way I can do this is to stay focused and to get not distracted. I really hope I follow throw with my goals.
12/15/08 Online Journal My online journal with my mom went good. The reason I thought it went good is that my mom always asks me what I did in school so it gave me a chance to show her. Instead of me say ''it was boring'' like I always do. She really liked the thought of this. She said that we should to that every week so the parents know whats going on at school and it helps the teacher get an outsiders view. I thought it was good to because my mom got to see all the cool stuff I write about in language arts. I think it help my mom understand the online journals more. we really liked the idea of how you let parents get interested with the online stuff. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12/10/08 deep down popular
Two things events in my book are Jessie Lou has to help one of the boys she likes because he has to ware a leg brace. Like she has to help him with homework and help him get his bike home, ands there going to be spending a lot of time together.Also The boy she likes she has liked since second grade,Conrad Parker was really popular, he is not now because he can't play soccer any more because of his leg, These things are important because Jessie Lou likes Conrad and he was really popular. When Jessie Lou was in first grade she would hide behind a bush and would jump out and kiss him every time he would go by.That's one way to creep someone out! 12/8/08Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix
The main character in my book is Harry Potter. In my book Harry is at his godfather's house. They call it headquarters. Everyones there Ron's mom and dad, Ron and his two twin brothers even his old professor, from Hogwarts.Harry is all ready faced troubles in this book. He had a letter telling him that he was expelled from his school, Voldermort is looking for him again, and no one will tell him whats going on, a bog newspaper has been writing bad things about him and his head master. Telling everyone that they are lying about ''the dark lord'' being back and that Harry just likes bring famous and it a big joke! A lot can happen over a summer without connecting to anyone. I fell really bad for Harry because everyone is keeping important stuff about him but are not telling Harry. when he goes back to hogwarts I wonder what his other friends will think because they read ''The Daily Prophet'', that's the name of the newspaper. 12/4/08 solla sollew
I think that in the book Solla Sollew the point is you will get trouble in life and you will not like it but, you can't run from it. You have to face it. Even if you don't think it could get any worse it will get better soon or later. In the book the little guy learns that you will have trouble, you will think that the grass is greener somewhere else,but you can't run all your life. One day you have to stick up in life or grab a bat!! your life will get better soon. So he went back to valley of ving with a bat to stop all his trouble (have fun with that)! 12/4/08 Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix
In my book today I found out that Percy, one of Ron's older brother has moved out because he got promoted and his dad thinks it's a set up. Also Harry is not at his Aunt and uncle house any more, he's at a house called Headquarter.I In the newspaper The Daily Prophet they have been writing nonstop about how they think Harry's just a show off, and a lot of other bad stuff. I think that the the newspaper are writing like that because they don't want to believe that ''the dark lord'' is back. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anna Frank--Rachel Anne (main character) is a Jew hiding from the Natzies. Her and her family are hiding in the secrete annex! In a old apartment building. They can't go any where out side they freeze in the middle of the night. In pitch darkness. Her family can't light any candles because, the people on night walks or that are out at night. Might see the light and wonder why it is on. This is a very good book, I really would reakamend this book! 12/2/08 Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix In my book today Harry was going to be expelled from hogwarts school, because he did magic while he had a non magic person around and was underage. The only reason he had to do magic was because there was dementors. The only way to get rid of a dementor is to do a charm. So professor Lupin and Mad-eyed moody showed up in his room to take him to headquarters to make everything all right so he does not get expelled.His aunt and uncle went out to dinner when the other wizards showed up, so they have no idea that Harry is going to go to headquarters. I think that when Harry's Aunt and Uncle get home they are going to be Happy that Harry is gone.
12/2/08 Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix I finished my book. Mad-eye Moody was really a servant for voldemort, he put Harry's name in the cup, he's the one who help Harry through all the task and was taking potion from a teachers office. The real Moody was in a little chest and he was shrunk to fit. Fake moody is getting a death kiss from the demantors from azkaban. Harry did win the triwiazard cup and at the end every thing was back to normal, if there even is a normal in his world. it was really a good book and I hope the others are like that .
11/18/08Harry Potter and The Goblet of fire
I predict that the teacher Mad-eye moody is going to tell everyone that he is a Death Eater for Lord Voldemort. I also think that he is going to spend a life sentence in Azkakan for acting like a teacher but was really a servant for Voldemort. Also I think that Harry is going to win the tournament. I think that the book will be very good.
11/17/08 Harry Potter And The Goblet of fire One prediction that I had that was wrong was I thought that Harry was not going to make it to the second task because he fell a sleep in the book room but a house elf Dobby came with gillyweed and I was also wrong about Harry and his dragon he had to fight. I had a lot of wrong prediction, but thats what makes reading fun! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11/08 Harry Potter And The Goblet of fire
Today int my book I read that Harry had came in second place and toke two people not just one. Harry got a letter from his godfather, Sirius Black. They think that the night that the dark mark(a mark that tells you if voldormort is back or around) that one of the people from a really high ministry conjure it, but blamed in on a house elf. That Rita girl wrote a really bad article about Hermione and Harry dating.
11/14/08 Sam.R said,
Sarah, It sounds like a good book. I've seen the movie if I read the book it might be different than the movie. I think I will try to read the series. How many books in this series have you read? I hope you have fun reading your books! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11/13/08 Harry Potter and the goblet of fire
The main character in my book is Harry Potter. In my book Harry faces a lot of stuff like he had to fight a real dragon, now he has to go underwater and save one of his friends or they will be gone forever. One of the house elf's Dobby help by giving him a thing called gillyweed. gillyweed is something that helps you breath underwater.
11/12/08 Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire What I read today was that that Rita Skeeter, reporter is a really bad reporter when it comes to peoples life's. In her paper she wrote that Harry's friend Hagrid was half giant , he is but that does not give her any right to put that in her paper! Hagrid now has spent a whole week in his cabin, all alone, I feel really bad for him. the head master told him that he had better be at breakfast tomorrow or else. Harry still has to find out what the clue is in his egg. 11/11/08 Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire The best part in my book so far is the yule ball because everyone is so excited, the girls are giggling. Ron and Harry had a couple of twins that they take, Hermione was asked by Victor Krum, one of the champions for the triwizard tour torment. Ron's little sister Ginny was asked by a boy named Neville.Hagrid insulted another teacher from Europe by calling her a part giant. Now Harry has to find out what his next task is by opening a golden egg but, every time he opens it, it screams really loud. The bad part is that now the ball's over Hagrid has not been at school ever since that reporter wrote something bad lately. Malfoy, a boy Harry's not to keen about is happy because he never really liked Harry or Hagrid. This book is really good. I love it!! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11/10/08 Five Things That Happened In My Book
1. Harry won the first task on the triwizard tour torment
2. He had the lowest time in the torment
3.Harry and Ron are friends again
4. Hermione, Ron and Harry went into the kitchen to find out why the house elf's like to work
5. Harry saw Dobby(the house elf from the year before).
6. the reporter,Rita Skeeter is going to interview Hagrid(the care of magical creatures teachers)\
7. Fred and George through a party for Harry
11/10/08 Mr. McGuire said
Good Predictions! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11/7/08 Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire I predict that Harry will have to fight a Chinese fireball dragon for his first task in the torment because a lot of bad things have been happening to Harry.Like a reporter came to the school and said bad things about Harry in a really BIG newspaper. I think Ron and Harry will start talking to each other again because Hermione has tried to persuade them to try to talk to each other. I hope so the book is really weird will out Ron in the book. Its like he's not even there. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11/7/08 Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire
I think I'm like Hermione because she is always reading and doing her best in school. she is top of the school in her grades. One reason I don't think I'm like Harry is Harry is really brave He fought the person how killed his mom and dad the first year that he was at Hogwarts, he fought a giant snake and saved a lot of people from dieing, he help his godfather escape from Azkaban all in three years. wow thats a lot no wonder I like these books.
11/7/08 Mr. McGuire said
So, as you are reading Harry Potter, who do you relate to the most? Are you like Harry? Are you like Hermione?
11\6\08Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire
Today I read that Harry will be one of the four people to compete in the triwizard cup. Harry does not know how he entered because you have to be 17 to enter. the other people in the triwizard cup is a Hogwarts student named Cedric Diggory, Victor Krum, and Fleur Delacour(from different schools). None will believe Harry when he says that he didn't put his name in the Goblet of fire( a cup that if you wanted to enter for the triwizard cup).
11/5/08Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire
Something I read in my book is Hermione is starting a protest about house elf's. House elf's are like slaves to the wizards and witches. I think Hermione is doing the right thing about the protest. She called it S-P-E-W or society of the promotion of elfish welfare.The reason it started is because the night there back at Hogwart the are talking to headless nick and the dinner was made by elf's. The funny part is she does not have any one joined yet, she asked Harry and Ron to but they don't want anything to do with it. If I was there I would sign up because I don't believe that their should be any slavery at all.

3/4/09 fake reading
Dear Mr. McGuire,
I think that if you fake reading you are missing out. There are a lot of great books out there and if you fake read whats the point of sitting their with a book for how ever long. I couldn't fake read, I would have to start reading after a while. Like last night I was sitting on my couch waiting for seven o'clock because thats when I start reading, well I started a little early because books open so many new and exciting doors. For the person that is fake reading you should start reading books that are for you, authors don't just sit around writing hoping that someone will read their books, they write to interest kids and adults. So if you are the one who fake reading, stop theirs no scene in it, unless you like not getting books, then we have a problem! Anyway I hope you take my advice.
2/5/09 Party Girl
Today I read out of the book Party Girl by Lynne Ewing. Somethings that I disagree with in my book are the way Kata is always blaming herself for everything, like the way she is blaming herself that her friend Ana died, I don't agree with that. Another thing that I don't agree with is how before Ana died her and Kata went out of the house without telling anyone,and went to a huge contest dressed ''bad''. I like how when Ana and Kata had recess they would sit on the playground and plan there weddings., with long white dresses and cute little kids picking up the train of the dress.The book so far is really good, I love how it uses really good words to describe a scene.
1/22/09 Awakening
In my book I would like to persuade J,D that she should go out and fight her mother for all the things that her mother has done. As of right now her and Daniel are in a old building,stuck there,and have no where to go until they get a chance to run away from Dr. Styron and J.D's mom. J.D has figured out what happens to her when Dr. Styron makes her fall asleep, he gives her this shot, that is supposed to help her. So now she has to find out real answers, find the real her and figure out who her real mother is. Thing is J.D is only 13 and she has to do all that by herself, with help from Daniel,of course.

The book Awakening is about a girl J.D. She was in an explosion some how, and when she wake up the first time she was still on the pavement, later she was at a hospital. Soon the doctor came in and told J.D that she would have to go to some kind of center for kids that didn't have a home.There she meet Daniel, a guy that don't have a mom and dad. now in the chapter I just read, J.D has a mom, home, and clothes but is still clueless

Your journal entries are good ( GOOD JOB! ), I would also like to see more specific details and how they relate to the "So What?" and your opinions.
Areas in red need some improvement.
3.3 or B+
1/6/09 ONE OPINION OF THE MAIN CHARTER Please check the spelling
One opinion that my charter has towards herself is thinks she is crazy. The reason she thinks that she is crazy is she was in a bad explosion, and so now when she went to the hospital to get checked out. She lost some of her memories. Now that she is in a different place she has been having visions, and has been seeing stuff that don't happen too. Another reason is she don't no anything about herself. She does not know her name, who her mom and dad are, where she lives or anything.

goals for 2009
1.) My goal for 09 is to read more. One way I can do this is as soon as I get home, after I do my homework, get out a book and read. The reason I want to do this is I always hear my mom complain how she wishes that me and my sister would to read more. My mom is all the time reading. My mane gaol is to read one book a day or two.
2.) Another gaol for 09 is to bring my grades up one letter grade and getting on the A honor roll. my mom and I were talking and she said if I get A honor roll she will take me any where I want to go,over summer break.I know one way I can do this is to stay focused and to get not distracted. I really hope I follow throw with my goals.
12/15/08 Online Journal
My online journal with my mom went good. The reason I thought it went good is that my mom always asks me what I did in school so it gave me a chance to show her. Instead of me say ''it was boring'' like I always do. She really liked the thought of this. She said that we should to that every week so the parents know whats going on at school and it helps the teacher get an outsiders view. I thought it was good to because my mom got to see all the cool stuff I write about in language arts. I think it help my mom understand the online journals more. we really liked the idea of how you let parents get interested with the online stuff.

12/10/08 deep down popular
Two things events in my book are Jessie Lou has to help one of the boys she likes because he has to ware a leg brace. Like she has to help him with homework and help him get his bike home, ands there going to be spending a lot of time together.Also The boy she likes she has liked since second grade,Conrad Parker was really popular, he is not now because he can't play soccer any more because of his leg, These things are important because Jessie Lou likes Conrad and he was really popular. When Jessie Lou was in first grade she would hide behind a bush and would jump out and kiss him every time he would go by.That's one way to creep someone out!
12/8/08 Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix
The main character in my book is Harry Potter. In my book Harry is at his godfather's house. They call it headquarters. Everyones there Ron's mom and dad, Ron and his two twin brothers even his old professor, from Hogwarts.Harry is all ready faced troubles in this book. He had a letter telling him that he was expelled from his school, Voldermort is looking for him again, and no one will tell him whats going on, a bog newspaper has been writing bad things about him and his head master. Telling everyone that they are lying about ''the dark lord'' being back and that Harry just likes bring famous and it a big joke! A lot can happen over a summer without connecting to anyone. I fell really bad for Harry because everyone is keeping important stuff about him but are not telling Harry. when he goes back to hogwarts I wonder what his other friends will think because they read ''The Daily Prophet'', that's the name of the newspaper.
12/4/08 solla sollew
I think that in the book Solla Sollew the point is you will get trouble in life and you will not like it but, you can't run from it. You have to face it. Even if you don't think it could get any worse it will get better soon or later. In the book the little guy learns that you will have trouble, you will think that the grass is greener somewhere else,but you can't run all your life. One day you have to stick up in life or grab a bat!! your life will get better soon. So he went back to valley of ving with a bat to stop all his trouble (have fun with that)!
12/4/08 Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix
In my book today I found out that Percy, one of Ron's older brother has moved out because he got promoted and his dad thinks it's a set up. Also Harry is not at his Aunt and uncle house any more, he's at a house called Headquarter.I In the newspaper The Daily Prophet they have been writing nonstop about how they think Harry's just a show off, and a lot of other bad stuff. I think that the the newspaper are writing like that because they don't want to believe that ''the dark lord'' is back.

Anna Frank--Rachel
Anne (main character) is a Jew hiding from the Natzies. Her and her family are hiding in the secrete annex! In a old apartment building. They can't go any where out side they freeze in the middle of the night. In pitch darkness. Her family can't light any candles because, the people on night walks or that are out at night. Might see the light and wonder why it is on. This is a very good book, I really would reakamend this book!
12/2/08 Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix
In my book today Harry was going to be expelled from hogwarts school, because he did magic while he had a non magic person around and was underage. The only reason he had to do magic was because there was dementors. The only way to get rid of a dementor is to do a charm. So professor Lupin and Mad-eyed moody showed up in his room to take him to headquarters to make everything all right so he does not get expelled.His aunt and uncle went out to dinner when the other wizards showed up, so they have no idea that Harry is going to go to headquarters. I think that when Harry's Aunt and Uncle get home they are going to be Happy that Harry is gone.
12/2/08 Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix
I finished my book. Mad-eye Moody was really a servant for voldemort, he put Harry's name in the cup, he's the one who help Harry through all the task and was taking potion from a teachers office. The real Moody was in a little chest and he was shrunk to fit. Fake moody is getting a death kiss from the demantors from azkaban. Harry did win the triwiazard cup and at the end every thing was back to normal, if there even is a normal in his world. it was really a good book and I hope the others are like that .
11/18/08 Harry Potter and The Goblet of fire
I predict that the teacher Mad-eye moody is going to tell everyone that he is a Death Eater for Lord Voldemort. I also think that he is going to spend a life sentence in Azkakan for acting like a teacher but was really a servant for Voldemort. Also I think that Harry is going to win the tournament. I think that the book will be very good.
11/17/08 Harry Potter And The Goblet of fire
One prediction that I had that was wrong was I thought that Harry was not going to make it to the second task because he fell a sleep in the book room but a house elf Dobby came with gillyweed and I was also wrong about Harry and his dragon he had to fight. I had a lot of wrong prediction, but thats what makes reading fun!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11/08 Harry Potter And The Goblet of fire
Today int my book I read that Harry had came in second place and toke two people not just one. Harry got a letter from his godfather, Sirius Black. They think that the night that the dark mark(a mark that tells you if voldormort is back or around) that one of the people from a really high ministry conjure it, but blamed in on a house elf. That Rita girl wrote a really bad article about Hermione and Harry dating.
11/14/08 Sam.R said,
Sarah, It sounds like a good book. I've seen the movie if I read the book it might be different than the movie. I think I will try to read the series. How many books in this series have you read? I hope you have fun reading your books!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11/13/08 Harry Potter and the goblet of fire
The main character in my book is Harry Potter. In my book Harry faces a lot of stuff like he had to fight a real dragon, now he has to go underwater and save one of his friends or they will be gone forever. One of the house elf's Dobby help by giving him a thing called gillyweed. gillyweed is something that helps you breath underwater.
11/12/08 Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire
What I read today was that that Rita Skeeter, reporter is a really bad reporter when it comes to peoples life's. In her paper she wrote that Harry's friend Hagrid was half giant , he is but that does not give her any right to put that in her paper! Hagrid now has spent a whole week in his cabin, all alone, I feel really bad for him. the head master told him that he had better be at breakfast tomorrow or else. Harry still has to find out what the clue is in his egg.
11/11/08 Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire
The best part in my book so far is the yule ball because everyone is so excited, the girls are giggling. Ron and Harry had a couple of twins that they take, Hermione was asked by Victor Krum, one of the champions for the triwizard tour torment. Ron's little sister Ginny was asked by a boy named Neville.Hagrid insulted another teacher from Europe by calling her a part giant. Now Harry has to find out what his next task is by opening a golden egg but, every time he opens it, it screams really loud. The bad part is that now the ball's over Hagrid has not been at school ever since that reporter wrote something bad lately. Malfoy, a boy Harry's not to keen about is happy because he never really liked Harry or Hagrid. This book is really good. I love it!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11/10/08 Five Things That Happened In My Book
1. Harry won the first task on the triwizard tour torment
2. He had the lowest time in the torment
3.Harry and Ron are friends again
4. Hermione, Ron and Harry went into the kitchen to find out why the house elf's like to work
5. Harry saw Dobby(the house elf from the year before).
6. the reporter,Rita Skeeter is going to interview Hagrid(the care of magical creatures teachers)\
7. Fred and George through a party for Harry
11/10/08 Mr. McGuire said
Good Predictions!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11/7/08 Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire
I predict that Harry will have to fight a Chinese fireball dragon for his first task in the torment because a lot of bad things have been happening to Harry.Like a reporter came to the school and said bad things about Harry in a really BIG newspaper. I think Ron and Harry will start talking to each other again because Hermione has tried to persuade them to try to talk to each other. I hope so the book is really weird will out Ron in the book. Its like he's not even there.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11/7/08 Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire
I think I'm like Hermione because she is always reading and doing her best in school. she is top of the school in her grades. One reason I don't think I'm like Harry is Harry is really brave He fought the person how killed his mom and dad the first year that he was at Hogwarts, he fought a giant snake and saved a lot of people from dieing, he help his godfather escape from Azkaban all in three years. wow thats a lot no wonder I like these books.
11/7/08 Mr. McGuire said
So, as you are reading Harry Potter, who do you relate to the most? Are you like Harry? Are you like Hermione?
11\6\08 Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire
Today I read that Harry will be one of the four people to compete in the triwizard cup. Harry does not know how he entered because you have to be 17 to enter. the other people in the triwizard cup is a Hogwarts student named Cedric Diggory, Victor Krum, and Fleur Delacour(from different schools). None will believe Harry when he says that he didn't put his name in the Goblet of fire( a cup that if you wanted to enter for the triwizard cup).
11/5/08 Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire
Something I read in my book is Hermione is starting a protest about house elf's. House elf's are like slaves to the wizards and witches. I think Hermione is doing the right thing about the protest. She called it S-P-E-W or society of the promotion of elfish welfare.The reason it started is because the night there back at Hogwart the are talking to headless nick and the dinner was made by elf's. The funny part is she does not have any one joined yet, she asked Harry and Ron to but they don't want anything to do with it. If I was there I would sign up because I don't believe that their should be any slavery at all.
